Abstract:
With the existence of capsules,lens regeneration occurs in some mammals after extracapsular lens extraction.It is usually thought that lens regenerates from resident lens epithelial cells (LECs) in the capsule.However,lens regeneration dose not mean simple redupilication of development,and transparency of the lens is affected by irregular growth,migration and transdifferention of the resident LECs.Previous studies mainly focus on the dysplasia of LECs,but update theory about lens regeneration is proposed to be associated with stem cells.Some views and suggestions in lens regeneration are concerned in current researches to better illuminate the mechanism and therapy of posterior capsular opacity.
